Moorepark Milk Quality Conference 2013

04 December 2013
Type Event Proceeding

A critical prerequisite for the manufacture of quality dairy products is to start with milk of the highest quality. Abolition of EU milk quotas in 2015 is projected to result in a 2.75 billion litre increase in Irish milk production by 2020. This increase has the potential to put ressure on the current quality standards, while the milk quality criteria requested by milk processors and by customers generally are becoming more strict and rigorous. It is important that requests to milk producers for improved quality milk is accompanied by the necessary information required to produce such improved quality milk.
